Tho Journey down to the coast is the

evening when Faust was to be played, /
saw the triple bowers arched above the
head of the merry Dutch, gaily chatting,

you see him dance. Every nation dances
differently, but the Dutclman's dance is
peculiarly original. The small, clumsy figure

minutes after the nrSt bit OF candy had been
placed in It's mouth BfJOu was dead For few
minutes there had been cOnvu.sive workings OF the

from the ground and then fell back; the eyes be-

FASECIL HALL USED FOR THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION
AFTER VIGOROUS PROTEST.
After the meeting IN Faneui Hall Monday night
10 protest against the of the hall last night by
the British Charitable society to celebrate the
queens jubilee had adjourned a second meeting
WAS organized, ut which committee Was APP
pointed TO wait upon the mayor and ask him to
Veto tile order they went to the mayors resi-
delce, but he was i'll and cOuld not be Early
yesterday morning the fight was vigorously re-
newed. A committee appointed Monday night by
the regular meeting sent to the mayor copy OF
the resolutions, with an address stating that it
SS his duty to interpOSe his veto and thus pre-
vent the prOfane Dissertation OF the "Cradie of
Liberty The mayor replied that he, with many
other prominent citizens. regarded its use for the
celebration antagOnistic 10 the traditions OF
FGnprlil Hail. but the action OF the aldermen had
made such use legal and he could not veto the
Orier, because his vetOpOwer is limited TO fourteen
days. and over twenty days had elapsed since The
order Was acted upon by the aldermen.
Throughout The day rumOr5 were numerous
about ths Intentions OF some of the holder spirits
perintendent OF Police Small ordered every mem-
Der OF the police department TO report for duty last
evening AT o'ciocal u crowd gathered in Faneuil
han square, and alaTge force of policemen took
stations at various points near by. When the
meeting In the hA1 opened there were about 5000
people On the outside. the policemen drove them
about Until the crowd, which hal been attracted

eral men mounted the monument IL Dock Squa~2
ana alternately denounced tn queen and the PO-
lice. Then charge was made by the mounted
O1lcer5, and after the people were scattered d re-
port was circulated that boy had been trampled
upon by pOliceman'S horse and killed. This
caused renewed excitement and the yellS increased.
The police charged again and finally succeeded in
restoring order.
Inside The hail the British Charitable Society
held their banquet, and speeches OF JubilatiOn
were Made, but there q feeling Of uneaS1nesS
prevalent In the PUSHES OF the officers at the
crowd several persons were severely injured, but
Ii had not been reported that any one was fatally
hurt. The good CouuSelS of several prominent
1rshmen had the effect TO keep away the more
turbulent spirits, and collision was thus averted
There is, however, deep-rO0ted feeling of exaS-
perattOD, not only among IriSh-AmericanS, but
among many old BoStOnlanS, that the han has
been put To bad purpose.
